I've had three Lumix cameras and have had to abandon every one of them because of dust specks getting on to the sensor. It happens when you switch the camera on and the lens pops out. The partial vacuum thus created sucks dust in through the tiny gap between the lens and body. The fix is so expensive and untrustworthy as to be not worth doing.

I'm increasingly with Maggie on the camera phone thing. The quality is great for ordinary snaps that you'd want to keep. Most times, my iPhone 6S is the only camera in my pocket. The only cavil is that there's no optical zoom. I particularly miss that with videos. For that reason, on special occasions or on holiday I also have a little Canon Ixus 285HS. It takes lovely videos and can zoom smoothly to 12X if you want it, and it has wi-fi which means I can easily transfer pics to my iPad and thereafter to the Cloud. The pics are pretty good too, but on the whole they're no better than my iPhone pics. I'd love to go high quality and I appreciate that the digital SLRs have bigger sensors and great lenses, but I just can't hack the notion of lugging a camera around that will weigh me down. Any stuff that I cart around has to pass the will-it-fit-in-my-pocket test.
